Conservative provocateur Ann Coulter agreed to participate in actor Rob Lowe's Comedy Central roast Saturday night to promote her new book (a campaign tract entitled, In Trump We Trust: E Pluribus Awesome!). That was a bad call.
Though the other celebrity roasters took plenty of shots at Lowe himself, Coulter was the butt of many of the evening's harshest jokes. Here are a few of the milder ones:
Pete Davidson: "If you are here, Ann, who is scaring the crows away from our crops?"Peyton Manning: "I’m not the only athlete up here. As you know, earlier this year, Ann Coulter won the Kentucky Derby."Nikki Glaser: "The only person you will ever make happy is the Mexican who digs your grave."Jewel: "I do want to say as a feminist that I can’t support everything that’s been said tonight. But as someone who hates Ann Coulter, I'm delighted." [All via Variety]
You can read some of the more NSFW insults here, or just wait until the roast airs on Labor Day.
